Week 5 Thing #11 Web 2.0 Lists


I had so much fun making images that I decided to add a poll. My husband was very amazed. He thought my license plate and Alien were neat. He doesn't know how simple they are to make.

Web 2.0 lists

I am a big user of craigslists. I find lots of neat info, job leads, and I also can post ads for my CPR & First aid business for free. Glad to see craigslist is a winner. I have also used YELP for health club and doggie daycare reviews, and you tube to watch music videos. I am such a numbut that I don't watch much tv. Yahoo answers was neat to explore because it helped answer some silly reference questions I had about online cpr/first aid training, bad checks, and poisoning for pets. I liked looking at the short list because it saved me time getting to what I needed.
I am the kind of person that if a category does not interest me i may or may not glance at it.

NING
I hate being called a librarian or media specialist. I prefer the term LMT (Library Media Teacher) because i am a teacher. hey I also have a multiple and single subject and have taught at all three levels K-5, 6-8, and 9-12. I also was not sure what NING was so i looked at one of my fellow LMT's website and the definition that they got was (Wikipedia said, "Ning is an online platform for creating social websites and social networks. The websites running on its service are built in standard PHP and the platform itself is built in Java").

In the past I joined some yahoo groups but found that I got more junkmail then i wanted. At least with Teacher-Librarian NING I can just check on to see if I get mail and I also thought it was cool that I could add my avator as my picture. One of the fellow LMT's in my district also joined. It may be neat to meet some new friends and share ideas. Who knows maybe it could also lead to job links if every decide to move. One day we will have to because our one bedroom condo is getting too small for two of us and a dog and we do want a child. Now I may be even more of a numbut with teacher-librarian ning.
